Seizures after the removal of a brain tumor can occur due to several factors, including irritation of the brain tissue during surgery, changes in brain chemistry, or the presence of scar tissue. The brain may also undergo electrical disturbances as it adjusts to the removal of the tumor. Additionally, if the tumor was located in or near areas responsible for controlling seizures, its removal can lead to increased seizure activity. These factors can contribute to the onset of seizures post-surgery.
Yes. If you have a brain tumor you may not know it. A brain tumor can cause a seizure.
in the 70's it was a tumor on his back had it removed
yeah he had brain surgery to have a tumor removed
No, Usually they have to be removed by surgery. but get medical attention right away if you have a brain tumor. They are very serious, and can kill you!!
No. An autopsy showed that she passed away due to asphyxia caused by a seizure. During the autopsy the coroner found she had a brain abnormality that made her subject to having seizures, but no tumor was found.
Yes you can because the scar tissue is healing from your brain surgery
Any brain tumor is bad, however, it is one of the better ones to have. Meningiomas are slow growing tumors of the outside lining of the brain. They usually can be removed and completely cured. Occasionally they are in a location that cannot be completely removed which would be a problem.
The brain tumor I had was in the center of my brain. It was located just under the optic chiasm. It was a schwannoma brain tumor which only grows on nerves. It was growing off of my optic nerve. The craniotomy removed it, unfortunately there was nerve damage. I cannot open my left eye, which in a way is good, because my eye points all the way to the outer corner. Thank God the tumor was not cancerous.
Brain Tumor Foundation was created in 1998.
Brain Tumor Society was created in 1989.
Around $70,000 to $115,000 depending on your insurance and around $200,000 without insurance
Yes if brain tumor or cancers are their specialty then as a doctor they should have a decent if not vast amount of information on brain tumor symptoms and how to cure the brain tumor.
